Waiting for my heater to cool down enough to switch it back on.
In both autumn and spring, when the temperatures are chilly but not yet low I have this problem with my gas heater that it switches itself off (not to pilot light, but totally off) when it's been heating for a while. Sometimes the room isn't warmer than 16C when it switches off. When it's cold outside I can easily get it to heat up to 20C without it switching off. I assume it does so to prevent overheating, but it's strange that it doesn't happen when it's colder. And it's annoying. I have to wait until it cools down enough before I can turn the pilot light on. The previous one did exactly the same thing, so it isn't a defect.
